This pic, from a couple of weeks ago, shows a little fellow we’ve seen three times now…
Well, maybe it’s the same fellow. It’s been around the same location each time, on Tikki’s early morning patrols. Two of the times, Tikki spotted it first and very nearly staged a full attack! No harm done, except a very scared little spiky guy.
Are hedgehogs real? We have voles.
Of course they’re real! We have voles too. Totally different thing. Furry rather than spiky.
Quite decent fare when cooked over an open fire, allegedly. You have to peel the outer layer off, along with all the incinerated fleas.
Heard recently than an old name for hedgehogs was ‘Jack Sharpnails’.
